Stop running. Get in the game.

Whether you’re a track star, a basketball hero, or a gold medal Olympian, one thing is for certain. In order to achieve the goal (winning the game), you must be mentally and physically prepared.

You’ll rarely find someone signed up to run in the New York Marathon, who signed up on a whim.

Most athletes train in some form almost every day of the year. They can’t just sleep in, or miss practices because they’re a little tired. They must have the mental and physical capacity to stay in the game; be ready when they’re called to perform.

As it is with Christians. We too must be physically, mentally and spiritually ready at all times. We can’t take a week off, just because we’re on vacation.

God has called us to be His hands and feet. We can’t do that if we’re not prepared.

Our game plan is all contained in God’s word, the Bible.

We can’t expect to witness to others, if we don’t have the knowledge to do so. But, the best thing about evangelizing to others, is all we have to do is to speak the truth; tell our story about what He’s done in our life, and God takes care of the rest.

Get in the game. Practice and do your best. God’s got this.

Proverbs 16:3 - “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
